About this tour
A two-hour private tour of Turin's Royal Palace pitched at families, with a guide trained to keep children engaged throughout. You'll move through the medieval weapons collection in the Royal Armory, visit the Chapel of the Holy Shroud to learn about the relic's history and significance, and wander the palace gardens. Skip-the-line access means less queue time and more room to explore the ornate rooms and courtyards that once housed Piedmont's ruling dynasty.

What to expect
Your guide will steer you through the palace's main spaces with stories designed to hold children's attention—the Armory's swords and suits of armour usually land well with younger visitors. You'll then move to the Chapel of the Holy Shroud to understand the relic's backstory and significance to Turin, before stepping outside to see the Duomo cathedral where the actual Shroud is kept (it remains sealed in a protective case and isn't on public display). The gardens offer a break from indoors and a chance to discuss the palace's role in Turin's power structure. The whole experience is paced to suit families.
Good to know
Prams and strollers are welcome throughout. The palace is fully accessible via wheelchair. Bring comfortable shoes as you'll cover ground indoors and in the gardens. Note that the Shroud itself isn't visible—you see the chapel and exterior of where it's stored. Child rates apply only when at least two adults are paying.
